Well that’s on you brother. I like what I do and I like that I take responsibility for my life and that I am not handed anything.
It is not right to characterise that form of making a living as being handed anything. To achieve that is hard work and just as much a form of trade. The voluntary nature of payments for the objects implies they are more valued by others than ordinary trade where payments are mandatory and creators can "coast" with lower quality products.
Arguably the person doing a regular job for pay is being handed more, as almost anyone can work a basic job for pay and gets the fruits of everyone else's labour. It's almost a freebie in modern society: Do some work get vastly more of what you need for a good life given to you while you produce maybe 1% of it yourself.
From this perspective, a job is 99% handout from the collective to you, 1% contribution from you to the collective.
And then you seem to go all in and level the same baseless accusation about everyone(?) on this planet. That is pretty egotistical don't you think? Perhaps you should try for some humility and perspective before you start demanding that everyone should switch to your values and distorted ethics.
The meme that springs to mind is Cartman screaming "RESPECT MAH AUTHORITIE"
you were handed knowledge and opportunity early in your life. you were gifted opportunity to compute and to learn how to program, and probably some priceless mentorship along the way.
from that, with your own hard work and perserverence, standing on the shoulders of giants, you built yourself a nice little career, and now make a good living putting digital cogs together.
based on a limited viewpoint of a 1x1 gameboard square, ignoring the bigger picture, like a child who just learned to put the A block on top of the B block, you cry out, "all by myself! it was all me!"
and, of course, ignoring all the other contributions to the picture, that statement true.
but from the perspective of someone who grew up without any of those opportunities, without someone else to provide the building and the carpet, and the A and B blocks themselves, it would seem privileged and ignorant of others' lack of opportunity.
of course, maybe i'm just projecting? i've certainly been there.
